You are Odisiaque N°6. Cinnamon, ginger and clove: a trail with a sensual fragrance reveals you. A hint of amber breathes your call. Unveiling through the curls of smoked tobacco, an elusive musky warmth. A charming and enigmatic heart that expresses itself in cedar and cascarille, intoxicates you with desire. A musky spicy scent based on an 18th century love potion.
A coined term, the contraction of “opiat aphrodisiaque”. Relating to the contemplative, languid state of a world that is slowly waking up after a long period of inertia. “I taste the odisiaque hour of your return.”
Odisiaque draws its inspiration from an aphrodisiac formula written in the 18th century by Jean Claude Adrien Helvétius, great physician to Louis XV and Marie Leszczynska and member of the Royal Academy of Sciences.
The peculiarity of this formula is due to a completely new raw material: cascarille. This dried bark with spicy notes, recognized for centuries for its therapeutic virtues, gives off a pleasant, musky scent when burned. Little claimed in modern perfumery, this rare material gives our love potion all its originality. Our Cascarille HE comes from one single producer in South America.

“Sous le Manteau Odisiaque is is a gem, perhaps the most precious amongst the Sous le Manteau collection, in my humble opinion. (…) By some perfume sorcery, Nathalie Feisthauer once again has surpassed herself by translating a somewhat obscure formula for an aphrodisiac opiate into a perfume that has accompanied me all through summer, scenting the terraces and dingy dance floors of Paris, reaping a heap of compliments every time I was to tilt my head, move my wrists or button-down my shirt – which happened often during the heatwave. Yes. Sous le Manteau Odisiaque No. 6 is a perfume meant for loving and being loved. It is meant to gently ensnare, as of a candid smile hiding the darkest and kinkiest of intentions. It beckons for a kiss; for a moment of silence shared between two souls fallen in love. Odisiaque calls for a dream, lived awake. It calls for love and yet smells of bygone loves and of loves to come.” Alexandre Helwani in Cafleurebon
